  • How to rip copy-protected DVDs on Linux in 2024
  • DVD readers often don't let you read from DVDs until opened by a valid program.... But stay unlocked after that.

    I created a 30 second clip about counterintuitive traffic principles in 30 seconds.
  • I wouldn't put too much stock in what they say, the clip is fine and I can't find anything disagreeable about the voice. I think this user is just upset at YouTube, not your content. Good work on this :)

  • HyRule Lore
  • Sorry, wherever I saved this from had already cropped out the artist signature :(

  • What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations?

  • Laptop DIY
  • I would use some kind of CAD software to design a backplate, making sure to add things like physical supports with screwholes that match your motherboard's mount points and vents at the right spots. You can get things like that 3-D printed, would be an inexpensive way to prototype it :)
